THE PATH OF KNOWLEDGE. (PART 3).

No intelligent man can readily accept from what little he knows that the Brahman, the Supreme, projects the world of plurality in Itself by Itself. A seeker, afteer reflection will pause to ask--is the Atman then the Inaugurator of this Jagat ?Or, has the Self Modified Itself to become the Jagat ?However, one will have to admit that neither of them can be a true possibility.The Infinite Awareness can not ever inaugurate an endless play of inert and insentient world of matter,nor can the latter possibility ever happen, because the Homogeneous Infinite Consciousness , Immutable and Changeless can not ever modify Itself to become the Universe !

The Vedantic theory of 'superimposition alone can satisfy the above.Theory of Superimposition :-_____________________

"In the absence of true knowledge of the nature of an object-- in this condition of ignorance-- 'that' object is understood to be of a different nature, and when the Real nature of the object is discovered-- when the ignorance is ended by the right knowledge-- all the misinterpretations end".So long as the rope is covered by our ignorance, the snake vision is real. Under a beam of light when the 'ignorance-of-the-rope' comes to an end , in the newly dawned 'knowledge-of-the-rope', the false superimposition of the snake-form also ends.

The nature of the Reality is not experienced by us and, therefore, we recognize in its place the world of names and forms, of cross purposes, of negative tendencies and of sorrows and mortality. When the Truth is known, the perceived world of plurality itslf is re-assessed and experienced as nothing but the Infinite Awareness.

However, it is true that the Vedantic theory accepts a relative-reality to the world of forms, inasmuch as though it is unreal from the standpoint of the Supreme, yet it has a 'temporary reality' as long as the limited ego recognizes it.
